  9. Need help with a name.

    Re: Need help with a name.

     

    Her powers all have the special effect of her controling different aspects of the body. Hence her Healing, Aid, Drain, and Transfer. The absorption is her using the energy of the attack to amplify her own energy (its an 4d6 Absorption vs Physical and Energy that feeds her END). I only added the Running and EB at the insistance of my GM. I wanted her not to have any really offensive powers and to be a support character and to have a lot of useful skills. My GM though she needed an attack power and a movement power.

    I've got an idea for a character but I can't come up with a name for her.

    She has Healing, Aid, Drain, Transfer, Absorbtion, Energy Blast, and Running. She is a forensic scientist for the local police. When in hero id she dresses like a typical punk/goth chick. I got the idea from the Abbey character on the TV show NCIS. Does anyone have any suggestions for a superhero name for her?

    Grefory Cauldron: "Sir, as a gentleman sorcerer I find your request repugnent. I demand an apology. If I do not get one I shall be forced to transform you into a newt."

     

    Weaver: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! Oh wait you're serious? F*** off!"

    Gregory Cauldron: He'll call the FBI and give them an anonymous tip about all the terrorists at the various airports, using his Silver Tongue spell (+10 to Persuasion, Conversation, and Seduction, they'll believe him) then he makes numerous bomb threats. A bomb threat at all the airports in question. When thats done he'll teleport to the nearest airport where the hijackers are and prevent them from leaving. THen on to the next airport to repeat.

     

    I'll skip Weaver since all his powers are ED in someway.

     

    Psycho: Would use his Mind Scan to try and find the hijackers, whenever he finds one he'll level his 14d6 Mindcontrol on them and have them deliver them selves to the FBI. Then he'll move on trying to get each and everyone of them.

    Doran Cortia would wait at their village until his companions showed up. If it was more then a few days and he was excepted as a member of the tribe and somebody tried to beat him. He would take apart whoever was dumb enough to attack him and then he'd work his way through the village until he'd beaten anyone who stood against him. Since Doran isn't particularly bothered by killing anyone he'd probably kill the old woman and take over the village until his companions showed up, then he'd abandon them to their own devices.

    Huh ... I have no idea what HK-47 is ... I thought I was being original. Ah well. :)

     

    Anyway, one other one from the Pulp HERO game, though it was completely out-of-character and anachronistic (which is why I was hesitant to post it):

    "Wonder Twin Powers Activate! Form of, a CAN OF WHOOPASS!"

    You owe it to yourself to play the first Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic game. It is available on the XBOX and the pc. Get it. Play it.

    Re: WWYCD trapped in a quarantined, plague-infested city?

     

    Gregory Cauldron: As a gentleman sorcerer he simply would not allow a child to come to harm, especially a little girl. While you might, I stress might, be able to convince him that it would be the honorable thinh to do if the surviving child was male it would be impossible to convince him to put a woman or girl knowingly into harm's way.

     

    Weaver: He would simply snap himself, the girl, several doctors, and the medical equipment in the girl's room into an accellerated dimension where she could have ample time to recover and only be gone from our dimension for some minutes. Then they could go a head and preform the surgery with no risk to the child.

    Situation: The fabric of the universe is tearing. Rifts to pure chaos are opening faster than Starbucks.

     

    One of the villians is a Dragon, gives a beautiful speech about welcoming the destruction of the world and all the people on it as it means unbelievable wealth and power for him.

     

    One of the heroes who has a Strong Code vs. Killing ponders killing the dragon by throwing him into one of the growing chaos rift so that he has time to stop the main villian and rolls his ego roll. Natural 3.

     

    "It appears you've just mastered situational ethics."

    :rofl:

    I love it!

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

     

    Okay' date=' this isn't exactly [u']a[/u] quote, but...

     

     

    Situation: Teen Champions game set at the Ravenswood Academy. A group of 5 Deltas (freshmen) are competing in a series of events vs. a group of 5 Betas (juniors). Suprisingly, the Deltas have mananged to almost hold their own in the events so far, and it's come down to the last event, which is an event where all the members of each team participates (the earlier events have all been one-on-one). In this event, the teams are battling on the field at the same time, but are not allowed to battle each other. Instead, each team faces 5 combat droids, and are only allowed to proceed to the next part of the final challenge after they've defeated all 5 of their droids. Since the teams are doing this at the same time, it's definitely a race against time.

     

    The Deltas work together and cooperate to take down their robots, or to draw fire away from exhausted classmates. The Betas, on the other hand, do not -- they're a clique of bullies and they don't even really help out each other, and each is looking for their own glory & notoriety.

     

    The robots have decent tactical programs, as well as a few "extras" you might not normally expect, but it's to simulate the sort of opponent you might actually run into. For example, the Beta called Onslaught (a brick who specializes in high-speed move-throughs) missed one particular attack droid and brained himself by running into a metal pillar that didn't give way. As he was laying there crumpled and twitching, the robot he'd missed pumped several stun bolts into him. Reason: "When an enemy goes down, make sure they STAY down." Needless to say, this took the Deltas a bit off guard when they saw that happening.

     

    During the fight that followed, all but one of the robots fighting the Betas got trashed...but that last robot took down 4 of the 5 Betas himself, and always pumped a few more rounds into them after they went down.

     

    The Deltas dubbed that particular robot "Sadistic Bob".

    You definetly need to give that bot AI and make it either a villian, an NPC, or a Hero.

    Re: WWYCD 101:A question of faith

     

    Gregory Cauldron: He would refuse to be their guest for the sacrifice. It would drive a huge wdge between him and these people, but he would not stop it.

     

    Weaver: He'd pretend to be completely supportive of their scarifice and at the last second he's whisk himself and the sacrifice away, despite any of their objections. He'd probably also give the priest in charge of the sacrifice a trip to a hell dimension, a short one but he should get the point.

  23. Ruling on this situation...

    Re: Ruling on this situation...

     

    I have another theoretical question for you:

     

    What is the weight of a PLONK? :rolleyes:

     

    Since this is a bulletin board owned by a company that publishes an RPG,

    and one of the genres covered by that RPG is Superheroes,

    and this is the area of that board designated for discussion of those rules,

    what did you expect to find here, sushi recipes?

     

    I don't mean to be offensive, but your comment is somewhere between ill-informed and downright trollish.

     

    Do you go to NASCAR discussion boards and ask if they realize they are talking about a bunch of guys who just drive in a circle all day?

     

    Of course they realize that. That is why they are on the NASCAR boards!

     

    KA.

    I actually I believe they are at a NASCAR forum because they want to talk about NASCAR with other fans. I don't think you'll find any NASCAR forum with a board called "Left Turns Are Cool!". :D

     

    My original comment was not supposed to be offensive, or trollish. Honestly I'm surprised it got any response at all. It was merely an observation. One that I felt, as a nerd myself, needed to be made. I still find it incredibly funny that so many people are worried about real world physics, in what is supposed to be a comic book rpg. The two just don't mesh very well.
